Birth of an elephant

No, not here on our farm - what a thought - but here's a nifty video clip about an elephant giving birth. It might be a little graphic for you squeamish types, but if you've seen as many cows having calves as we have, it's fascinating.

I worked on an Arabian breeding ranch when I was young. The birth of a foal never ceased to amaze me.Thanks for posting this, Patrice. My young sons actually let out their breath and clapped when the mother got her baby breathing (I have to admit some welling in my eyes:).It was beautiful.Blessings,Julia
